Tom Friedman's Homicidal Fantasy

Amid a Thomas Friedman column claiming that "it's an outrage that we can't control our border" comes this passage:

Ted Cruz speaks of our government in the same way as the anti-tax zealot Grover Norquist, who says we should shrink government "to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." (Am I a bad person if I hope that when Norquist slips in that bathtub and has to call 911, no one answers?)

@NYTimesFriedman, an advocate for higher taxes, writes that he wishes me dead. I take that as a high compliment. I wish him a long life.

My own answer to Mr. Friedman's question would be that it doesn't necessarily make him a "bad person," but it is a bad thought. Am I a bad person if I hope the government makes Tom Friedman and his family pay the top tax rate he would impose on the rest of the country?
